Description:

While some fluorspar has been produced in Arizona, it is
little known to most of the prospectors and small operators of
the state. The prices now offered for the mineral should make
producers of some of the properties on which it is known to
occur, especially those deposits in which it is found as a vein
mineral, and from which it can be mined as a by-product of
metalliferous minerals.
That fluorspar is receiving some attention in this state is
deduced from the increase in the number of requests for information
concerning it that have been received recently by the
Arizona Bureau of Mines. This bulletin has been prepared to
answer these inquiries in greater detail than can be done by a
letter, and it is hoped that it will answer the present need. 19 p.
